Every artist at one time or another looks at a painting and says, "I wish I had painted that." It happened to me a couple of weeks ago in myacrylic basics painting class.

​I gave my students a demonstration of a pineapple painting on a black primed canvas, and everyone of their paintings came out better than mine. I was very proud of them. But still, I would have liked to have been happier with mine.

So what did I do? I decided to start over and try to redeem myself.

​Pineapple Moon is the result of my efforts.

​So, if and when you experience creative envy don't despair, turn it into creative effort. You'll be glad you did.hugs,​Maggie
